[ continuation ] [ 1600×1280 would look pretty nifty on a 19" monitor! ] NOTE: all above resolutions can be in any color depth up to 24 bit. Special applications (256 colors max, limied only by VRAM memory size): 3200×2560 [ this is an astonishing 168 DPI on a 19" monitor, enough to make any sourpuss happy 🙂 ] SPECIFICATION OVERVIEW bus interface: Directly connects to high-speed 32-bit wide local bus of GVP's COMBO accelerator boards for the A2000. Internal graphics architecture: 64-bit interleaved Framebuffer: 4MB or 8MB of high-speed VRAM with 25ns serial access time. Directly mapped into 030/040 host CPU. VRAM is fully expandable from 4MB to 8MB using GVP's special SIMMVR-1MB-80 SIMM modules. Graphics memory architecture: 32-bits chunky Random VRAM access: 80ns-normal or 40ns in pagemode Video port access: 12.5ns [smokin'] Maximum pixel display speed: 110 million pixels per second in full 24-bit color depth per pixel. [ compared to VGA resolution which has 768K total pixels ] Display resolution: Fully programmable in steps of 4 pixels per scan line. Display Refresh Rate: Fully programmable up to 140Hz [ little, teeny-tiny, itty-bitty pixels – and more than a megapixel 🙂 ] Display Scan Rate: Fully programmable up to 80KHz. CPU Bus bandwidth: 50MBytes per second (without using 68040 burst mode, higher when using burst mode of 68040). Graphics data bus bandwidth: up to 440MBytes/sec with 65-bit interleave. Max blockwrite data bandwidth: up to 576MBytes/second Average Line Draw rate: 3 million pixels per second with 68040. Hardware sprite/cursor support: 64×64 pixels built-in hardware cursor Pseudo color modes: 2 colors out of 16M, 4 out of 16M, 16 out of 16M, 256 out of 16M. True color modes: 65536 colors (16-bits per pixel) or [ MORE ]
